If you have a problem with wildlife in your Rohnert Park home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in California wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing California and Rohnert Park, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife Detectives
Cell Phone: 415-524-7015

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Sonoma County Animal Services: 707-584-2600

Wildlife Detectives specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. California also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife Detectives is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 415-524-7015 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2022.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully California and Sonoma County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Wildlife Detectives is a full-service Rohnert Park wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Rohnert Park pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Detectives performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Rohnert Park wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in California to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to California law. We offer Rohnert Park raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Detectives. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Rohnert Park squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Rohnert Park exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Rohnert Park rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. California is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Rohnert Park pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Rohnert Park bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Rohnert Park trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Rohnert Park wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Wildlife Detectives does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Detectives. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Wildlife Detectives also provides dead animal removal in Rohnert Park. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Rohnert Park snake removal - most of the snakes in California are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Rohnert Park. And remember, we are a private business, not Sonoma County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 707-584-2600. Sonoma County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Rohnert Park Wildlife Tip #1:
What causes rats in homes
No matter where you live, there is a good possibility that rats may be living inside your home. What has been interesting over time is that everywhere that human beings have traveled rats have followed. They live off of the creations of people, residing in such places as homes, businesses, even in sewer systems. They eat off the food we throw away, drop on the floor or store in our pantry. They survive because they have learned to live off of our generosity.

While you may not like this idea, it has become reality. They are surviving because you are, which is a reality that you need to face, and explains what causes rats to get in a home.

Think about the reasons that you have a home. The most important of these is shelter and security. You want to be protected from the elements, from cold, from illness, and to have a place where you can close the door each night and feel safe and secure from potential robbers or other nefarious people. Your objective in having your own home is to provide the safety and security that only the home can offer.

The same is true for a rat. They also want to feel safe and secure wherever they live. They don't want to be in the rain, wind, or cold. They want to avoid predators that could swoop down upon them and devour them, making them into their next meal.

Your home offers the perfect opportunity to get all of that. Not only do you keep your home, apartment, or business at a temperature that a rat would find perfectly suitable to keep it warm and snug, but your structure keeps them away from elements that could cause them harm.

Well you may have a cat or dog that would go after the rat if it found them, the truth is that your home provides great security from the vast majority of predators that would see a rat as a good meal. You don't have owls, foxes, raccoons, possums, and other kinds of animals inside your home, so the rat is safe from the vast majority of animals that would look to do it harm.

Beyond safety and security, your home also offers a great many luxuries for a rat. It can use your books, old clothing, carpeting, and other materials to make a nest out of two keep it warm during the day while it sleeps. At nighttime, it is able to find sources of food in your pantry, on your countertops, or even on the floor around your kitchen. There is plenty that a rat can benefit from in terms of food because of what you have purchased for your own family.

Add to it the fact that all of these things are available for the offspring of a mother rat, and it is easy to see why they will do everything they can to get inside your home. It not only offers them the chance for survival, but to allow the colony to blossom.

Rohnert Park Wildlife Tip #2:


California Wildlife Information:

California State bird: California quail
State mammal: California grizzly bear and the grey whale
State reptile: Desert tortoise
State fish: Golden trout and Garibaldi
State insect: California dogface butterfly

California is home to the infamous redwood tree, a plant so large it could easily accommodate a road through the center of it. These trees make up one of the most spectacular national forests in the United States and provide shelter to thousands of different animal species. Like smaller forests around the country, the redwoods house raccoons, squirrels, porcupines, and rabbits. Prey and predator animals abound, and California has its fair share of grizzly bear sightings.

All of these animals can become potential pests for homeowners living on the fringes of such a massive nature preserve. Rural residents are accustomed to securing garbage cans and basements to prevent a curious skunk or gopher from moving in. But forest animals aren't the only creatures known to cause trouble in this coastal state. California has to do daily battle with marine and semiaquatic life.

While shy and often unapproachable, sea lions and seals are abundant on the beaches. These animals draw to them gulls by the hundreds, and the resulting piles of droppings are not what most tourists head to the beach to see. Restaurants also have issues with the bold and pesky seagulls. Special netting and bird spikes are the only practical way to keep diners free of bird poop without chasing away patrons.

California isn't just about being warm. While this state has steady, mild temperatures for most of the months of the year, there are high elevations which see frigid temperatures and persisting snow. Such a variable climate makes the state a perfect location for a diverse population of animals. Not only can creatures like coyotes and bears survive in the colder regions, salamanders and frogs abound in the areas where sun and warm are the norm.

As a tourist state, California has a large population, and such a significant amount of people means eventually having human-wildlife conflicts. The most common critters that have to be removed from California homes are raccoons, bats, pigeons, skunks, and a variety of birds including woodpeckers, swallows, and seagulls. Honeybees are also an issue for homeowners in California. If you think it's difficult to button up a home
